In a nutshell:
- Local, OpenAI drop-in alternative REST API. You own your data.
- NO GPU required. NO Internet access is required either
- Optional, GPU Acceleration is available in
llama.cpp-compatible LLMs. See also the build section.
- Optional, GPU Acceleration is available in
- Supports multiple models
🏃 Once loaded the first time, it keep models loaded in memory for faster inference⚡ Doesn't shell-out, but uses C++ bindings for a faster inference and better performance.
LocalAI was created by Ettore Di Giacinto and is a community-driven project, focused on making the AI accessible to anyone. Any contribution, feedback and PR is welcome!
Note that this started just as a fun weekend project in order to try to create the necessary pieces for a full AI assistant like ChatGPT: the community is growing fast and we are working hard to make it better and more stable. If you want to help, please consider contributing (see below)!
